Notes:

Married:
Bob Strong said that his mother, Stella, divorced her first husband in Montague County, Texas. Charles and Pat could not find a record of either her marriage or divorce at the Montague courthouse. Bob also thought that her first husband was "more than twice her age" and that he may have been married before, and possibly after, his brief marriage to Stella.
